Default clothing for hypersensitive skin

They make this stuff for both men and women but many of my female friends have better luck in the mens section. they are in any sports store. the moisture resistance also adds to the comfort and they dry very quickly.
As an occupational therapist I've worked with many people, particularly on the autism spectrum, who have super sensitive skin. Fifteen percent of the normal population is suspected to have that condition to varying degrees, (and/or hypersensitivity to smell, light, movement, etc) which we call sensory defensiveness. Paradoxically, deep pressure touch can mediate the sensitivity to light touch, but I don't know if that would apply to PN pain. My patients with tactile hypersensitivity often were comfortable with close-fitting stretchy garments such as bike shorts or compression garments under their other clothing. When it's not too hot out, of course. Another strategy is to buy used clothes that are already broken in and softened and without buttons, zippers, etc.
